Celebrate your holiday season with a marvelous journey to Eugene Ballet’s The Nutcracker with Orchestra Next.

There’s a joyful magic at every performance as hundreds of aspiring young dancers join the Company on stage, while the Sugar Plum Fairy transports all to the Snow Kingdom and the Land of the Sweets. You’ll cheer and boo at the battle with the not-so-scary Mouse King and his Pirate Henchmice, as Clara and The Nutcracker win the day. Mark your calendar for a special free Holiday Concert December 24 at noon in the Hult Center Lobby.

“The Nutcracker has become a no-miss holiday tradition for many, and as keepers of the torch, the Eugene Ballet Company’s sturdy production twinkles and delights as ever.”—Rachael Carnes, Eugene Weekly
